Since the original publication of Hate Crime, the study of prejudice, hatred and crime has developed both in terms of scope and legislative and community responses. This book builds and expands upon the success of the first edition and offers a truly international approach to theories, concepts and examples, such as race, gender, transgender, disability and hate crime on the internet. Features of the new edition include:

• Historical perspectives of hate crime, particularly in countries where hate crime has only recently, or is yet to be acknowledged as a problem,
• A discussion of the extent, nature and impact of hate crime victimization,
• An examination of extreme hate crime, including far right groups, genocide and war crimes,
• An international overview of hate crime legislation, law enforcement and community responses.

Nathan Hall is an expert on hate crime and this book would be perfect for the growing number of courses in this area, as well as related areas such as race, gender, inequality and criminal and community justice.
